ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An elastomeric hinge spring intended primarily for the doors of vehicles, has an outwardly projecting detent formed on a first bracket mounted on the vehicle frame and a roller formed of a compressible elastomeric material mounted on a second bracket attached to the vehicle door. The detent is in the path of movement followed by the roller upon movement of the second bracket and door toward the closed position. The roller retains the door in the open position requiring temporary compression of the roller to move of the door toward the closed position. The detent may have two projections which provide an intermediate door position or have an elongated ramp configuration to achieve other door opening and closing characteristics. Another detent may be formed on the first bracket to partially compress the roller when the door is in the closed position to bias the door toward the open position. The elastomeric roller completely eliminates metal spring components heretofore used in prior hinge spring devices.
